    Getting Started with Python Programming for Windows

    Users
    Installation of Python & SciPy Libraries

    • Get the latest version of Python installed on your system if it is not already. There are
    many good ways to do this. See https://www.scipy.org/install.html
    • Install the following SciPy Libraries using pip (see below):
    o scipy
    o numpy
    o matplotlib
    o pandas
    o sklearn
    • python -m pip install --user numpy scipy matplotlib pandas sklearn

    Setting up the Environment

    • Use File Explorer to create a folder where you plan to store your Python programs. You
    can use a different folder for each assignment.
    • In the box at the top where the file path is shown, right click and click on “Copy address
    to text”.
    • Click on Start >> Windows System >> Command Prompt
    • A Command Prompt window should open.
    • Type “cd /d”, then a space, then Ctrl-V. This will paste the folder (i.e., directory) you
    made to store your Python programs in. The command line should look something like
    this:

    V:\>cd /d D:\KU\Spring 2020 (690)\Assignment 1\PythonProgramsAssgn1

    • Press Enter. This will change the Command Prompt environment to the directory with
    your Python programs.
    • Type “dir”. This will list your Python program files. There should be nothing there since
    you haven’t created a program yet. It should look something like this:

    D:\KU\Spring 2020 (690)\Assignment 1\PythonProgramsAssgn1>dir


    Volume in drive D is USB20FD
    Volume Serial Number is EFEE-5C69

    Directory of D:\KU\Spring 2020 (690)\Assignment 1\PythonProgramsAssgn1

    01/09/2020 11:22 AM <DIR> .


    01/09/2020 11:22 AM <DIR> ..
    1 File(s) 42 bytes
    2 Dir(s) 12,065,521,664 bytes free
    Writing Your First Python Program

    • Click on Start >> Windows Accessories >> Notepad to open the Notepad editor.
    • In Notepad type in the following program exactly as written:

    # File: Hello.py

    print ("Hello World!")

    • Go to File and click on Save as.


    • Browse for the for the folder you created to store your Python programs.
    • For the field File name remove everything that is there and type in Hello.py.
    • Click on Save. You have just created your first Python program.
    • To verify you did everything correctly, go to the Command Prompt window and type
    “dir” and you should see the Hello.py listed.

    Running Your First Program

    • To run the program, in the Command Prompt window (with your directory set to the one
    with your Python files in it), type python Hello.py and hit Enter.
    • You should see the line Hello World!
    • Congratulations, you have run your first Python program.
